While we were in Utah we left Bridget with my mom for a morning so Richard and I could take Marshall on an outing. I think he definitely was in need of some one-on-one time with us and we hope he enjoyed himself.
We decided to ride the Frontrunner (the train that will eventually run from Ogden to Provo). We got on the train in Farmington and rode to downtown Salt Lake. Marshall was SO excited!
We had bought him this backpack just the day before. He fell in love with it and insisted that he take it on the train. As a side note, the last few days he has put this on and has informed me that he is going to high school. What?!
Our original plan was to get off the train and walk to the Salt Lake Temple. Marshall loves to visit that temple and Richard has never been there with him. However, we didn't realize that the train stop was so far west and we had about seven blocks to walk. This wouldn't have been a problem if 1) it wasn't so hot and 2) if we had a stroller. So, our pace was slow, and after two blocks of walking Marshall was done.
So Richard picked him up and we made it to the Gateway where we stopped for lunch. Marshall had a grand time playing on the toys.
After lunch we stopped in Fanzz (Richard can't be in a mall in Utah without visiting at least one sports store; he must check out all BYU apparel.) While Richard was browsing Marshall picked up this BYU flag and started running around the store singing the Cougar Fight Song. It was hilarious.
After he finished singing Marshall put the flag back and picked up a University of Utah flag and once again started singing the Cougar Fight Song. Richard almost had a conniption fit and quickly put an end to it. :)Anyway, after that we made our way back to the train and enjoyed our ride back to Farmington. It was a fun morning out and I sure am grateful for this almost always adorable two-year-old.
